5.0 out of 5 stars Does the Imposible: Makes Maths Fun, 23 Feb 2009
By Mr. S. J. Keogh (Cheshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you can count, you can learn how to square 153,467...(23,552,120,089).

It is clear, logical and the rest is up to you. Any possible sum you can imagine can be learnt if you are willing to practice.

My advice: How quick you Learn each chapter depends on how thoroughly you learnt the previous chapter. It starts with 24+35 and progresses. Rip the answer booklet out of the back and take it to work or school. If you can only do 10 minutes, that's ok. Don't slack, take your time and be amazed.
